Help me complete my library.

You seems do not read me. Can you run the ROM image right from the ROM site?

The whole idea of it is like library - you go through the catalogue, then select the title, it's edition, associated patches and guess what's to do then? Just run it, do not copy. Like a flash game but not in the browser environment.

No, nothing like this is possible, nor is it really practical to be honest. GameTap is as close as you can get, otherwise, it's not possible.

I believe some sites do this by design.. I think Consoleclassix or whatever...

That system is a paysite though.

This system normally wouldn't be done because of bandwidth costs (it is cheaper to just allow downloading than to sending that info on demand).

MOD EDIT: Don't even bother to mention the site either.

allows playing online >.> if it is not legal to even do this then, ok i'll remove it..

That shit is anti-legal. That is how illegal it is.

Sites like that have been around for years. First heard about 'em four years ago. I'm surprised people here don't know about 'em...

Other than that I've completed the Master System library and am working on GBA as we speak. VBA and finding some ROMS. Most games on there suck, so I'm really just picking out the good ones on there. This is becoming an obsession LOL. There any good Turbograffix 16 Emu's out there? Oohh, I gotta get MAME again.....

Use VBA-M or no$GBA. They'll both work much better than VBA.

Edit: Shit, I double posted. Sorry, moderator people.

MOD EDIT: MERGED

hmmm really? I'll look into those then. Never had a problem with VBA in the past, but can't hurt to explore all the options, thank's.

I.S.T. · Post by **I.S.T.** » Mon Mar 03, 2008 7:40 am

VBA-M has more accurate sound and(IIRC, anyway) core emulation, and has a whole lot more options to play around with.

No$GBA has very few options to play with, but it's the most accurate emulator for the GBA period.

No, you moron. It's NOT legal.

Aren't ROM links a bannable offense?

I'd rather not test that.

it is workable, for the five people that saw it.

Still, quite stupid to link to it, franpa. I thought you knew better.

franpa · Post by **franpa** » Mon Mar 03, 2008 11:12 am

i did not link to roms, i linked to a online arcade >.>

I.S.T. · Post by **I.S.T.** » Mon Mar 03, 2008 11:19 am

Which was using obviously pirated roms with their java emulators.

franpa · Post by **franpa** » Mon Mar 03, 2008 12:50 pm

i did not see a way to downlaod roms from that site.

mudlord · Post by **mudlord** » Mon Mar 03, 2008 1:34 pm

i did not see a way to downlaod roms from that site.

But the fact remains that you linked to a illegal site, period.

Justifying its legality by saying you not linking to ROMs is quite stupid, when in fact, when you run the Java applet, it executes on your computer, thus using the illegal ROMs present there.

Which is just as bad.

Yes.

Holy thread derailment batman.

Ok, i have seen the link and that is pretty close to the idea of the virtual drive (network drive perhaps) with roms.

Please calm down, this issue was not any kind of offensive post with illegal shares but the topic related post. The mods better to rename the topic to "Help me complete my collection" not "Help me complete my library" to avoid future confuses as i'm associate the library term with a public stocks

We don't really care what you associate with what. You're not really in position to ask anything like changing the topic for your own sake.

And... you'd better read the posts that are in a thread before blindly replying to what you associated the topic with.
This tip free of charge, ain't that nice.

All threads go off-topic. It's the law of the internet.

Yes.

however as of late usually first offences don't earn a ban

it's when you do it over and over

Um, wow. Anywho: Still can't get SSF to run. Tried a different copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga with the same result. I just can't get it to work. Haven't tried any other games yet, but I'll probably look into it in a bit. Now I do have a noob question though. WTF are you supposed to do with the .cue files that come with some of the images. I have one for SotN, and PSX always complains about it not being there but it runs fine anyway. It also complains that my other games don't have it, but they run. Panzer Dragoon also came with them. What are they for/do and what am I supposed to be doing with them. I tried adding them on to the disk, but both NERO and PowerISO say that it's an invalid format (despite them both having .CUE listed in the search options when they look for image files).
